Flying kites at Bondi's Festival of the Winds

by Ian Lloyd Neubauer

Sydneysiders will be hoping wind god Aeolus plays his part to the full this weekend, delivering a gale or two for Bondi?s annual Festival of The Winds mass kite-flying extravaganza.

Now in its 34th year, it?s Australia?s premiere kite event -- a colorful spectacle attracting some 50,000 spectators and hundreds of kite-makers.

The festival includes a free multicultural entertainment program staged across the many rooms, exhibition halls and amphitheatres of the voluminous Bondi Pavilion Community Centre.

This year?s lineup includes a Chinese Lion Dance and Kung Fu acrobatic display, the Gypsy Dub Sound System, Aboriginal culture showcases, glassblowing, food from around the world, kite-making workshops, special kids? activities and an art exhibition celebrating Bondi?s colorful birdlife.

In keeping with the aerial theme, there will even be an aerobatic flyover by Sydney?s own Red Baron.
